How to Save Money at Millbrook Valley Animal Hospital
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

First time here but staff welcomed us like we were regular customers. They treat you like family as soon as you enter the door right until you leave. Expert knowledge and care.

My English bulldog has been on special food and 10 dollar a day allergy meds for a while now, his paws became irritated and he started destroying his feet. My usual vets office could only see allergies and simply upped the dosage, and over the phone. Eventually they were too busy to see my dog so they suggested Millbrook. Great visit. Prescribed antibiotics and steroids. In 24 hrs his paws are visibly in better shape. I was spoken to in layman's terms. I was fairly advised that it would be a battle and would be costly because it had gone so far, but it will end with less medication and less expensive food. I've got no animosity to my old vet, they're great and they're just too busy sometimes, but will stay with Millbrook.

Very impressed by this clinic. We had called many others in the area and no one could see our dog for a few weeks. I called here and had an appointment the next day. The staff are very friendly and made our dog feel at ease. Thank you very much!

We took our 1 yr old Goldendoodle puppy here when he developed a bad ear infection and it was such a great experience! We had never been before so I called them and was able to get in for emergency care right away and the front desk staff were so pleasant and friendly with both our pup and our kids. Once seated in the examination room, Dr Kate came in right away and I loved how she got down to our pups level and talked to us while petting and examining him and made him feel at ease - he was nervous and panting but quickly relaxed with Dr Kate. True to their word, the staff called me exactly a week after the appointment to check in with us to see how our puppy was doing with his prescription. We absolutely loved the service at Millbrook Valley Animal Hospital and Reese left a happy boy!

The best spot for your fur baby! They offer excellent care and are great with my very nervous dog. I love seeing the picture of him as a puppy up on the wall when we go in!
